Sometimes it is hard to describe book that you loved. All you can say is “READ IT!” These are the kind of books that are best to be read in book clubs, because there you have the time to tease out the reasons you loved it or the questions you have or discuss the choices the author made.
So what can I tell you about this book by Amor Towles?
Like A Gentleman in Moscow, Towles’ previous book, it is more than the sum of its parts. The Lincoln Highway takes us on a journey, literally from Nebraska to New York City and into up-state New York. But it is also a coming of age story, a tale about heroes and those who are heroic, but not in the ordinary sense of the word. It is about redemption and most of all it is about the love and trust between two brothers.
You just have to read it!
And let me know what you think!

Brenda, I was glad to see this. I put this book on hold at our local library over a month ago, and I just now checked: I am #111 on 95 ebook copies right now, so it will still be a while before I get a copy of it. Your post today makes me want to read it even more.
